What If Canada Invaded Montana?

The latest in a series of interviews with Ron Paul by John Stossel... this time on war:

If Canada invades Montana?

I think that might be a little bit different. Montana probably could take care of it, but we'd probably help them out from Washington if that happened.

That's a role for the federal government?

Oh, sure.

How do you not love this guy?

Amazing. We would fight back against an invading force and feel justified doing so...but we invade a foreign nation, THEY fight back and we wonder why!

Montana? I bet some of Ron Paul's biggest white supremacist contributors are from there.

What the hell would Canada want with Montana? Come to think of it, what the hell do we want with Montana?

Canada couldn't invade a paper bag.

Much less find Montana. Even if we put them in the middle of it.

What if Canada invaded Montana? Who'd notice?

You guys are sad. I think the point was that if any of our states were invaded, we would go to their aid and protect them. Instead we're so busy invading other countries that we've left ourselves wide open for someone to invade us, even if it is Canada.

You all were taking this way too seriously. I think it's hillarious how he said that "Montana could probably take care of it"... as in Montana is stronger than all of Canada. It was a great joking response to the question.
